IN NOME HE
Unwritten Law Plea of Alabama
Man Who Killed Masonic
Brother.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA., Aug. 19— Dr.
Frank Walton, well known and prom
inent physician employed by the
Woodward Iron Company at Mulga, a
mining camp in the western part of
the county, is dead a« a result of
three pistol bullets fired by Gid T.
Weaver, a young electrician employed
by the same company.
The shooting took place at the homo
of Weaver when the latter returned
unexpectedly. The accused fired
three shots, one striking Dr. Walton
In the breast and the other two In
the side of the back. The wife of
Weaver grabbed hold of the weapon
and the fourth shot went wild.
Weaver surrendered and was
brought to the county jail here to
day. His preliminary trial is set
for Saturday before a Justice at Mul
ga. The unwritten law will be the
plea.
The body of Dr. Walton was
brought to Birmingham for interment.
Both deceased and accused were
members of the same Masonic lodge.

Summary of Weekly
Weather Is Bullish
WASHINGTON, Aug 19.—There were
small areas with more than 2 inches
of rainfall in some of the central and
eastern cotton-growing States. The
greatest weekly’ precipitation, 4.43
inches, occurred at /New Orleans, and
there was 4.20 inches at Rome, Ga.
Mean temperatures were above normal,
except that there was a deficiency in
the central and eastern portions of
North Carolina, Northeastern South
Carolina, Southern Georgia, the cen
tral portion of Northern Florida, the
greater portion of Louisiana and the
extreme southeastern portion of Eastern
Texas.
The greatest excess In temperatures
was 7 to 9 degrees in Oklahoma and
Northwestern Arkansas. The deficien
cies in temperatures were slight.
Weekly mean temperatures ranged
from 72 to 82 degrees ov.er the eastern,
from 80 to 84 degrees over the central,
and from 82 to 86 degrees over the west
ern portion of the cotton region. The
lowest mean temperature, 72 degrees,
occurred at Asheville, N- C., and the
highest, 86, occurred in Oklahoma,
Northwestern Arkansas and Northern
and Western Texas. The precipitation
was light over the greater portion of
the cotton region, and there was con
siderable areas in the western portion
and small areas in other portions where
there was no precipitation.
By states:
Georgia — Temperatures continued
above the normal, but weather was cool
er toward the close of the week. Light
showers occurred from the 14th to 16th,
but the amounts were irregularly dis
tributed and below normal. The sun
shine was ample and conditions were
generally favorable.
Mississippi—The mean temperature
averaged slightly’ above normal. Show
ers occurred every day except Sunday,
but mostly in the southern portion.
The rainfall is still insufficient at many
points in the northern and central por
tions of the State. Sunshine was am
ple.
Arkansas—Weather was moderately
warm in the eastern, but unusually hot
in the western district. Sunshine was
above normal. Light, scattered and
beneficial showers occurred over 50 per
cent of the State, but rain is needed
in some localities.
Texas—Temperatures were moderate
along the coast, but exceeded the nor
mal elsewhere. Local showers occurred
on several days, three-fifths of the re
porting stations receiving moisture.
Good amounts of precipitation occurred
in several of the central and southern
counties, but elsewhere the amounts
were too light to be of much benefit,
and more rain is needed. The sunshine
was abundant.
Oklahoma—Weather was intensely
hot during the week. Scattered thun
dershowers which occurred did not re
lieve the serious dTouth.
Alabama—The temperature averaged
2 to 5 degrees above normal during the
first and middle parts of the week and
was nearly normal at the close of the
week. Widely scattered showers oc
curred, but the precipitation was un
evenly’ distributed and generally there
was a considerable deficiency’. There
was no rain at many stations. Sun
shine was abundant.

Splendid Bill at Forsyth.
Willie Weston, Grace DeMar and
Toots Paka and her Hawaiian musi
cians are running a dead heat for first
honors in the fine vaudeville offering at
the Forsyth this week. First-nighters
found it hard to pick the winner.
The Hawaiian musicians repeat the
big hit they made on their previous
visit to Atlanta. The guitar playing of
one of the men brings down the house
and Miss Paka's "hula hula” dance wins
a big hand. The weird native songs
are exceptionally pleasing.
Willie Weston, in a class by himself
as a character singer, has new songs
this year, and his act goes big. He was
assisted at the piano by Howard Win-
burn, the Atlanta pianist; Mike Bernard,
Weston's regular partner, being ill.
Miss DeMar, who sings well some
songs that are full of "pep" to say the
least, and captures the gallery In her
last number when she exhibits a very
shapely figure In tights.
The other acts on the bill are above
the average in quality. Kennedy and
Rooney have a skit that keeps the au
dience chuckling; Foster and Lovell win
favor with songs and nonsense; the
Nikko troupe-of acrobats have a .Japan
ese who walks up and down stairs on
his head as an added feature, and the
Pathe pictures are unusually interest
ing.
War Picture at the Grand.
Interesting light is thrown on the
threatening Mexican situation by a re
markable motion picture, "Victory," at
the Grand Theater this week. While the
scene would fit any Spanish-American
country, the acute conditions in Mexico
Immediately suggest that country, and
the analogy is stronger still when the
Pre**ident of the Republic Is assassi
nated and the crux of the drama de
velops with an attack on the United
States battleship Utah.
Woven through the play Is the love
drama of a young United States naval
lieutenant and the daughter of the
United States Ambassador. All modern
implements of warfare, including the
hydroplane and the wireless, are dem
onstrated in action, and stirring battles
are fought. The picture was made
through a special permission snd co
operation of the United States Navy
Department.
Policeman Sews
Up Slit in Skirt
AYDEN. N. C., Aug. 19.—A pretty
19-year-old girl appeared in the
streets here wearing a generously *slit
skirt. She didAit on a ^ager. A
crowd of hodtinf meiMind boys fol
lowed her. ^ \
A polieemaji escorted the girl to ••

the slit sewed up. He called a car
riage and sent the girl heune. Then
he chaged the crowd away.

SEATTLE, Aui. 19.—Reports from

timated that 33 passengers and 7
members of the crew of the boat were

Liverpool and Shorts Big Buyers
on Western Weather Condi
tions—Bears Cautious.
NEW YORK. Aug. 19.—Cables from
Liverpool were surprisingly strong to
day, with the result that prices w r ere 5
to 15 points higher than the closing
Quotations of Monday The Mexican
"war scare” did not result in any pres
sure. This, coupled with the absence
of rains in the western belt of any con
sequence and the Dallas wire of hot and
clear weather, encouraged sufficient
buying to send prices still higher.
Trading was active and shorts appeared
to bo nervous over prospects for a
bullish weekly crop report covering
Texas and Oklahoma.
The feeling is still more bullish in
the absence of rains in the western
belt and the bull forces were inclined
to predict higher prices. Liverpool was
said to be a good buyer in this mar
ket; also spot interests.
During the forenoon the market dis
played an inflexible tone. Offerings
were extremely light and scattered, re
sulting in prices increasing the advance
12 to 16 points from the previous close.
August at the opening showed the
largest gain, but later settled around
11.67, against an opening of 11.70.
The detailed weather for Texas and
the weekly weather report, which was
construed as bullish brought out buying
and a few r noints rally followed. Those
who are advocating the bull side are
advising friends to buy at the present
level.
The bearish element are awaiting fur
ther developments in the western belt
and as soon as there are signs of good
rains it Is very likely there will be some
good selling.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 19.—The map
shows a rather general rainfall over the
southern half of Texas during the past
24 hours, but generally light, except at
Beeville and Lullng. None in the south
ern half or in Oklahoma; part cloudy
in southern Arkansas, west Tennessee
and the Texas coast. Generally fair
elsewhere; no rain. Indications are for
part cloudy with probably some scat
tered showers in the Western States;
cooler in the northern half of the belt;
generally fair weather with moderate
temperatures over the eastrn hall' of
the belt is favorable, as an excess of
rain was feared.
Jverpool came In stronger than ex
pected and guoted spots 4 points higher;
sales, 8,000 nates. Cables report Russia
and the continent buying. Political
new’s is less favorable. London says
that a third war in the Balkans seems
near, as Turkey is apparently making
preparations to move against Bulgaria.
Galveston freight people report an ex
cess of steamer room over the demand,
and room engaged during the summer
being relet, offered or to let as the de
mand is not up to antieijiations This
is confirmed in a way by the Galveston
and Houston receipts being lighter than
last year, particularly to-day. a'though
picking and ginning are known to be
In active operation over a large part of

BETTER TRADE IN DRYGOODS
THIS YEAR THAN YEAR AGO
Marshall Field <St Co, \n their weekly
review of the dry goods trade say;
Buyers have been in the dry goods
market this week in much larger num
bers than during the same period a
year ago. Mercha* are ordering for
ward their fall line, and filling in their
stocks thoughout all departments. Buy
ing has proceeded with precaution in
individual cases, but retailers generally
are so much in need of merchandise for
Immediate requirements, that the total
volume of shipments is keeping up re
markably well.
’Much needed rains have orightened
the prospects for a good fall business
in a largo portion of the territory that
was feeling the drouth.
"Silks ure a big item of the trade at
present and practically all buyers In the
market are placing orders for this class
of merchandise In liberal quantities.
"Judging from the extraordinary de
mand that has developed and in view
of the serious labor troubles that have
prevailed for some time in the silk in
dustry. there will be a scarcity of all
kinds of silks before the season is far
advanced.
"The sale of black silks has improved
greatly wdthin the last few weeks.
Liverpool Is said to be a good buyer.
Mitchell, Rioruan and Cone were prob
ably the best buyers on the call. Cone
Is said to be buying for McFadden
There was no rains shown on tne map

NEW YORK. Aug. 19. As a result of
the report from Mexico City that Presi
dent Huerta had delivered an ultimatum
to the United States which might re
sult In war. the stock market was very
weak at the opening to-day and prices
were lower.
United States common declined U 4 .

loss of 24 points. Reading declined to
159>% for the loss of l», H . Mexican Pe
troleum was under pressure, yielding l

Pacific shaded 1.
The selling at the start was general.
Investors as well as speculators seemed
"Tho Mexican and foreign situation
may unsettle the market temporarily,
but It Is generally believed that the
Mexican affair will he adjusted without
uny serious trouble. On weak spots
think stocks like Union Pacific, Copper,
Steel and St, Paul should be accumu
lated conservatively." G. D. Potter.
The New' York Financial Bureau says:
"Foreign news indicate* that the situa
tion between Turkey and Bulgaria is
critical. Fears are entertained that an
advance upon the whole of Bulgaria is
about to begin. On this news the Lon-
don market Is disposed to realize on
stocks.
"Information channels continue to be
conservatively friendly on the stock
market, according to the outgivings
from various w'ell informed sources. VVe
would look for Tair buying opportunities
with the intention to accept moderate
profits."

The volume of retail buying In the
local cotton goods market last week
in most houses was substantially ahead
of a year ago, according to The New
York Journal of Commerce. There Is
an absence of speculative buying and
a great caution is being exercised, yet
total requirements for merchandise are
becoming formidable, and it seems as if
the retail trade has .liquidated in the
past six months more than In any re
cent similar selling period. Any broad
buying for future account in the cotton
goods market would bring on a sharp
advance.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug 19.—Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows partly
cloudy In Southern Arkansas, Went Ten
nessee and Texas coast. Generally fair
elsew-here. Lighter but rather general
precipitation over southern half of Tex
as. None shown by the map in the
northern half, or Oklahoma. Indica
tions are for partly cloudy to further
showers over the western States; also
Arkansas and Tennessee. Cooler weftth
er generally in northern half of the
belt.

Report here from Galveston freight
agents says freight room engaged dur
ing summer is being relet, owing to de
mand for shipments not being up to
expectations.
* • *
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Showers fell in Texas and
Oklahoma Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day, and while general good rains are
needed, the talent is now convinced
that some relief has come to the drouth-
uffected areas. This, in conjunction
with the favorable crop reports received
from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi.
Alabama. Georgia. Tennessee and the
Carolina*, caused the cotton market to
ease off a bit. Oklahoma now seems
to be in worse condition than any of
the cotton-growing States, as a result
of long continued dry weather.
"Texas, on the other hand, has suf
fered in part only, and certain sections
there seem to be doing very well. Tex
ans themselves say the boll weevil has
done some damage in the southwestern
portion of the State, but the recent dry
weather has put an end to the progress
of such damage on the west. The
chronic crop killer seems to have failed
in his attempts to reduce the crop
promise to relatively small provisions,
and tor this reason the talent is now
talking big crop and moderate trade
prospects with a greut deal of energy.
In all of which demand for distant de
livery and the causes thereof ure play
ing a leading role. No general rains
are in sight, but the weather bureau
promises normal temperatures and
showers during the next six days, from
which the west may derive some fur
ther relief in the near future "
